As the 40th anniversary of Carroll Shelby’s history making GT350 and 427 Cobra approached, Shelby contractors Unique Performance hatched the idea to produce 40 special Continuation Series 1965 GT350SR Fastbacks. As is widely known, Unique’s pending collapse halted their production of Continuation Shelbys, but it is believed that four 40th Anniversary cars were built, and #4 in production is offered here in this spectacular Silver GT350SR Fastback. The car is unique in that it commemorates both the GT350 and the big block Cobra, the latter thanks to its 427 CI engine – not the original and heavy FE version but a Shelby-tuned aluminum block 427 whose dimensions allowed it to be dropped right in between the Mustang’s shock towers. The only one of the four examples fitted with FAST sequential electronic fuel injection, it generates a big-block-worthy 585 HP through a Tremec 5-speed to a Currie rear end with Tru-Track differential and 3.25 gears. That alone is enough to recommend the car to Shelby fans, but it also boasts incredible handling, the result of highly modified steering and suspension, 4-wheel disc brakes and performance rubber on custom Foose wheels. Special body work, Silver paint with Blue racing stripes and Shelby markings ensure its identity. The car’s Shelby DNA is also evident in the sharp Blue interior which, in addition to air conditioning and custom sound, features Shelby instrumentation, controls and carpeting and Shelby’s personal autograph on the glove box door. With just 700 miles on the odometer since its completion, this unique GT350SR is titled and registered as a 1965 Ford Mustang with the original VIN and comes with plentiful documentation.
